"You still haven't told me what surprise you are preparing for me." I air my anxiety to Jerol as we settle into his car this bright morning of Friday, a bright smile noticeable between my ears.

It gives me so much euphoria to see this version of him. Happy and composed. He is no longer the "about to burst" bomb he was. He has changed a great deal, especially in the past one week.

He has resumed work and taking care of his company has now become his priority and life in general. I can see just how much work enthrals him. Now I feel like an idiot for laughing...
